Dr. Dinah Meyer is interested in surveying women who had their first child at age 40
or later, and whose child is under the age of 4. This is an online survey
that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and participants’ responses
are completely anonymous – their name or any other identifying information will
not be asked. The questions ask about pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the
post-partum period. The questions are both medical and social/emotional in nature.
Very little scholarly research has examined the experiences of new mothers over 40,
so the knowledge gained from this study will further our
understanding and care of this growing population of mothers.
This study has been approved by the Muskingum University Human Subjects
Committee.
Interested readers should go to the following website:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/First-timemomover40
From there, participants will read a brief informed consent,
and then, if interested, continue on to the survey. Please feel free
to check out the link above to view the survey questions. Again, this
is an anonymous survey, and participants will not be contacted in any way
after their participation.
